Highlights
"Jack and his team worked quickly and professionally. They cut down a Red Robin tree that had grown too large for the garden and cut back a Buddlia that was out of hand. The whole job was done quickly but no corners were cut. The cleared up every last leaf and not of bark. Very reasonable. I would recommend highly recommend him"
"From initial enquiry, through to completion, Jack and his colleague Sam showed complete understanding of our requirements and gave great advice, the work was carried out very efficiently leaving a great result. What was even better, was the fact multiple neighbours commented on how polite and respectful to the community leaving the ground clearer than when they arrived. Price was very competitive? Time on job was also very good with no unnecessary disruption. Thank you Jack and Sam!"
"Punctual, fast and efficient work. Three young men dovetailed their work very efficiently. One cut the trees, one collected rubbish and one shredded . Very quick, very tidy and no rubbish left anywhere. Trees nicely shaped too. Would recommend to everyone."

Tree work is dangerous and unregulated - anyone can call themselves a tree surgeon. Arboricultural Association ARB Approved Contractors are independently assessed for the quality of their tree work, their qualifications, their insurance and their health & safety, and are re-assessed regularly. Check they're listed before work starts near your home or power lines.
Check the ARB Approved Contractor directoryCheck they carry public-liability insurance (commonly £2–5m) and ask to SEE the certificate — tree work is high-risk and damage to your property, a neighbour's, or a person is expensive to put right.
Before any felling or heavy pruning, check whether the tree is protected — a preservation order, a conservation area, or active bird nesting — because YOU, the homeowner, can be fined for unauthorised work, not just the contractor.
Get the scope in writing (which trees, how much to take off, and who removes the waste and grinds the stump), and never pay in full before the work is finished.
